Untitled is a 1963 ink by Raymond Mason, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows nine groups of people walking in different directions. They’re drawn in quick, loose lines, all bundled up in coats and hats. Some carry bags or hold hands, but their faces stay blank. The artist used ink to layer dark shapes, making the figures look like they’re moving fast. The paper’s edges are clean, but the people seem crowded and restless. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
